How it works

How to Use the PDF to Video Generator

Bring your PDFs to life and turn them into impressive videos in just four simple steps.

Step 1

Upload your PDF file

Drag a file, paste a URL, or import slides. HeyGen accepts multi-page PDF files up to your plan limit.

Step 2

Choose voice, style, and duration

Select an AI voice, visual theme, aspect ratio (16:9, 9:16, 1:1), and your preferred pacing. You can also clone your own voice for better brand consistency.

Step 3

Review the suggested storyboard

Preview the AI-created scene breakdown, swap visuals, edit on-screen text, or refine the narration using plain-language prompts.

Step 4

Generate and export

Render a broadcast-ready MP4, SRT captions, and social-sized versions for your narrated video. Share a link, embed the video, or download and publish.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What types of PDFs work best with PDF to video?

Documents with clear headings, bullet lists, and logically organised sections convert best because HeyGen can create distinct scenes from those structural cues, turning a PDF into a video. Slide decks, guides, manuals, reports, and whitepapers all deliver excellent results when you convert PDF to video.


Do I need to record my own voice?

No. Choose from a library of natural AI voices or clone a voice with a short sample for consistent narration in your narrated video. You can also upload your own voiceover if you prefer complete control over the narration in your engaging video.

For individual creators, the Creator plan starts from $29

How long will the generated video last?

Video length adjusts to your PDF length and selected pacing. HeyGen provides controls for narration speed and scene timing, so you can condense a long document into a brief summary or create a full-length walkthrough.

Can I edit the visuals and text after the conversion?

Yes. Swap suggested images, adjust on-screen copy, change caption styling, or tweak timing. Regenerate any scene after edits without rebuilding the entire project to ensure your engaging video stays fresh.

Are captions and translations included in the plan?

Yes. HeyGen auto-generates captions and supports translation into many languages, with synced voiceovers and subtitle timing for localised videos.

Which export formats are available?

Export high-quality MP4s, SRT captions, thumbnail images, and vertical or square variants optimised for social platforms and LMS uploads.

Will there be a watermark on free exports?

Watermark policy depends on your HeyGen plan. Free trials may include watermarks; paid plans unlock watermark-free exports, higher resolution, and advanced features. For more advanced creation requirements, the Pro plan starts at $99

Who owns the videos I create?

You retain complete ownership of all videos and assets you create. HeyGen does not claim any rights over your content. Please ensure that any third-party media you add is properly licensed.

How secure is my PDF content?

Your uploads are encrypted both while being transferred and when stored. Enterprise plans provide additional controls, private storage, and compliance options for handling sensitive content.
